🌍 Talent exists everywhere, but language decides who gets seen.

📘 Learning English after 12th class — after studying in a government Hindi-medium or local language school — and
 📚 Learning everything in English from the beginning point onward...

They look similar. But they’re not the same. ❌
One is about picking up a language.

 The other is about rebuilding your entire way of learning, thinking, and expressing — in a new language. 🧠💬

🌱 I come from a tribal background.
 I grew up in an environment where English wasn’t just a subject — it was a distant world.

 When I got into IIT Bombay, people assumed we all stood at the same starting line. 🎓
 But I was already 🏃‍♂️50 meters behind, carrying a weight others didn’t even see.

💭 People say: “Language is just a tool.”
 But that’s usually said by someone who’s always had that tool sharpened for them. 🛠️

 For me, every sentence was a battle.

At IITB, I had to create a 5-step loop in my head, just to respond in class:
🧠 English input
 🔁 Translate to Hindi
 💡 Think critically in Hindi
 🗣️ Form idea
 📝 Translate back to English — and only then I could write or speak.

Every answer took longer. Not because I didn’t know it —
 But because I had to fight through translation just to be understood. 🕰️

📄 Day 1: General English Test #2010 at IIT Bombay
 Q: “What is Newton’s Law?”
 I knew it. ✅
 A friend said, “Just copy mine.”
 But my brain froze. I couldn’t process. ❌
 I failed — not because of the knowledge gap, but the language gap. 🧩

Even now, in moments of pressure — lifting weights 💪, sudden pain 😣, or deep stress —
 The first words that come out of my mouth are in Hindi.
 Because that’s the language I was built in. 🧱

🔊 To all the CEOs, hiring managers, educators, and leaders out there:
Language fluency ≠ Intelligence.
 Fluency = Exposure + Access + Privilege. 🎯

Let’s stop mistaking good English for good ideas.
 Let’s listen beyond the accent.
 Let’s hear the talent hidden behind translation. 🌟

🔥 Let’s stop confusing fluency with intelligence.
 🤔 How many brilliant minds are we missing — just because they weren’t taught in English?

Deepak Baghel : I have seen this clear discrimination not only in the hiring process but also in the admission process for programs like MBA. My protests on such issues is not taken kindly by other panelists.

Deepak Baghel Veena Pailwar Here are some approximations (based on NIRF, admission data, and startup surveys focused on populations):

Out of the top 100 B-Schools (MBA programs), 49 exist in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad, and the top 80 schools are located in the top 15 cities. Out of the top 200 engineering schools, 100 are in the top 20 cities.

About 70% of MBA students and 80% of engineers come from an urban background — meaning the top 20 cities — while 30% come from semi-urban and rural backgrounds.

75% of founders come from top 20 cities in India, and 25% come from outside and 35% did engineering.
